North Carolina Electric Transportation: State of the State March 2021 2 North Carolina Electric Transportation: State of the State March 2021 2 North Carolina Electric Transportation: State of the State ABOUT PLUG-IN NC Plug-in NC is a statewide program that has been working since 2011 to establish North Carolina as a leader in electric transportation. Plug-in NC promotes electric driving through education, outreach, consulting and resource development with the help of a collaborative network of member organizations and volunteer ambassadors. Plug-in NC is guided by a Steering Committee made up of individuals who work in North Carolina’s electric vehicle (EV) industry. The committee keeps the program up to date on EV activities happening across the state and helps connect communities from the mountains to the sea. Organizations represented on Plug-in NC’s Steering Committee include electric utilities, EV and clean energy advocacy groups, Clean Cities Coalitions, charging station providers, government agencies and more. TABLE OF CONTENTS 03. WHY ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION? 05. OVERVIEW AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 06. CURRENT REGISTRATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE NUMBERS 08. NORTH CAROLINA’S ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION SUCCESSES 13. GAPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROGRESS 17. CONCLUSION 3 WHY ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION? In the U.S., transportation accounts for approximately 28 percent of all energy use and 28 percent of greenhouse gas emissions — in 2016, for the first time since the 1970s, it overtook the electric power sector as the country’s top greenhouse gas contributor. As a state, North Carolina sees the same pattern for its carbon dioxide emissions. The reason? The electric grid and electricity generation have been getting greener, while transportation is still dominated by fossil fuels: Over 90 percent of transportation’s energy use comes from petroleum; less than 1 percent comes from electricity. Electrifying the transportation sector, therefore, is critical to decarbonizing our society, and it comes with numerous benefits for the U.S. as a whole and North Carolina specifically. ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH Driving on electricity is significantly cleaner than driving on fossil fuels. An average EV running and charging on North Carolina’s electricity generation mix produces the emissions equivalent to a gasoline vehicle that gets 85 mpg. And this number will only improve — unlike conventional vehicles, EVs get cleaner over time as the grid turns to more sustainable energy sources. Beyond harming our environment, air pollution caused in part by gasoline An average EV and diesel vehicles is linked to numerous negative outcomes, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, cognitive impairment, weaker running and charging school performance and productivity, and more. Each year, tens of on North Carolina’s thousands of Americans die from causes attributed to poor air quality. Vulnerable populations, including low-income communities, communities of electricity generation color, the elderly and children, are particularly affected. mix produces the With no tailpipe emissions and particulates, EVs support a cleaner and emissions equivalent healthier North Carolina. The emissions that are generated — from the to a gasoline vehicle electricity needed for charging — are more localized and easier to control. According to a 2020 report from the American Lung Association, by 2050 that gets 85 mpg. the widespread adoption of EVs in the U.S. could avoid approximately 6,300 premature deaths, 93,000 asthma attacks and 416,000 lost workdays annually, producing savings of $72 billion in health costs. North Carolina specifically could save over $1.6 billion while avoiding 141 premature deaths, nearly 2,400 asthma attacks and over 10,500 lost workdays each year. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The growth of electric transportation can support economic progress in several ways. EVs bring a whole supply chain of new opportunities in a variety of arenas, from research and development to vehicle and charging station manufacturing to electrical contracting and more. 4 At the end of 2019, about 3,000 North Carolinians were employed in the EV At the end sector. The state is already home to manufacturing facilities and companies for medium- and heavy-duty EVs, such as Thomas Built Buses, and in late 2020, British of 2020, EV EV manufacturer Arrival announced that its North American headquarters would drivers in North be in Charlotte. Carolina were In addition to the direct job growth benefits associated with EVs, the technology paying the can indirectly spur the economy as well. For example, charging infrastructure built out across the state can encourage tourism and boost traffic to communities and equivalent of establishments. EV drivers waiting for their vehicle to charge have time to explore $1.10 per gallon local businesses and retailers. of gasoline. COST SAVINGS Electricity prices are lower and more stable than gasoline, so EVs are cheaper — and more financially predictable — to run than conventional modes of transportation. At the end of 2020, EV drivers in North Carolina were paying the equivalent of $1.10 per gallon of gasoline. EVs are also simpler and have fewer moving parts than fossil-fuel vehicles, meaning there are fewer maintenance requirements. Savings generated from the reduced operating costs can be put back into North Carolina’s neighborhoods — representing another way to support the state’s economic vitality. EVs decrease North EQUITY Carolina’s reliance With transportation electrification still emerging, there is an opportunity to ensure on oil and use that the distribution of benefits is just and equitable. Low-income communities and communities of color often bear the brunt of transportation pollution, locally generated being located near highways and other major roadways. Planning around and electricity that guaranteeing access to EVs within these communities can promote a future that is cleaner, healthier and more affordable for all. comes from a variety of sources, GRID STABILITY AND OPERATION EVs represent a flexible electric load that electric utilities can harness to benefit including an their operation and the customers they serve. By encouraging EV charging increasing amount during periods of low electricity need, such as overnight, utilities can take advantage of underutilized generation resources and help flatten their demand of renewable curves. These developments can, in turn, put downward pressure on electricity energy. rates for all customers, EV drivers and non-drivers alike. ENERGY SECURITY Approximately 70 percent of the U.S.’s oil consumption is used for transportation. In North Carolina, that number exceeds 80 percent. The state has no crude oil reserves or production and no petroleum refineries, meaning that it imports the hundreds of millions of barrels of petroleum it consumes each year. EVs decrease this reliance and use locally generated electricity that comes from a variety of sources, including an increasing amount of renewable energy. 5 OVERVIEW AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS SURVEY RESPONDENTS This report provides a look at the state of electric transportation in North Carolina.

This figure places the state 17th in the nation in total EV sales and 27th in EVs per 1,000 people. Based on the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC), as of January 2021, North Carolina had 837 publicly accessible charging stations with 1,936 individual charging ports. These totals reflect both Level 2 and DC fast charging. Level 2 charging serves daily driving needs and is often found at retail locations, hospitality accommodations, parks, schools and more, delivering about 25 miles of range per hour. DC fast charging provides a higher rate of charge, adding around 60 to 80 miles in 20 minutes. DC fast charging stations are commonly located at stops along primary travel corridors, like convenience stations, malls and rest areas. LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 DC FAST CHARGE VOLTAGE: VOLTAGE: VOLTAGE: 120V 1-Phase AC 208V or 240V 1-Phase AC 208V or 480V 3-Phase AC AMPS: AMPS: AMPS: 12-16 Amps 12-80 Amps (Typ. 32) >100 Amps CHARGING LOAD: CHARGING LOAD: CHARGING LOAD: 1.4-1.9 kW 2.5-19.2 kW (Typ. 6.6) 50-350 kW CHARGING TIME: CHARGING TIME: CHARGING TIME: 3-5 Miles per Hour 12-60 Miles per Hour 60-80 Miles in 20 Minutes 7 It should be noted, however, that the overall number of charging stations and ports alone does not paint the entire picture, because not all charging stations are available to all EV drivers.

    POSITION STATEMENT: UNFAIR TAXES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES This position is supported by the following Drive Electric Minnesota Policy Committee members: Alliance for Transportation Electrification Minnesota Electric Vehicle Owners American Lung Association in Minnesota Minnesota Power City of Minneapolis Otter Tail Power Company Connexus Energy Plug In America Elk River Municipal Utilities Shift2Electric Fresh Energy Xcel Energy Great River Energy Electric vehicle (EV) users should pay their fair share for the use of Minnesota roads, but they should not pay MORE than owners of equivalent conventional vehicles or than their fair share. Upkeep for Minnesota’s roads relies significantly on the Highway Users Tax Distribution Fund, which is funded through a combination of fuel tax revenue (including gasoline tax and $75 EV tax), license fees (including registration taxes), and motor vehicle sales taxes. Auto parts sales taxes and other sources also provide funding.1 Why is Drive Electric Minnesota concerned about unfair new taxes on EVs? • EVs already pay more than their fair share. EV drivers currently pay a $75 annual tax in lieu of a gas tax in addition to paying more in motor vehicle sales tax and registration tax than someone buying a comparable gasoline vehicle. In total highway taxes, EV owners already pay more over the life of the vehicle than the average gas vehicle driver, as shown in figure 1. • Inconsistent with the user-pays principle: The current gas tax model assesses a fee on a driver based on their vehicle’s fuel economy (miles per gallon) and how much they drive. Drivers of vehicles with low fuel economy (few miles per gallon) need to fuel their tank more, as do drivers that drive a lot.

No. 6030 AN ACT CONCERNING ZERO-EMISSION VEHICLES IN CONNECTICUT. Proposed H.B. No. 6031 AN ACT CONCERNING ELECTRIC VEHICLES. Thank you for the opportunity to submit these written comments to the Committee in support of H.B. No. 6030 and 6031. As the nation’s leading independent non-profit EV advocacy organization, Plug In America’s (PIA) mission is to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicle (EV) technology and provide support to current and potential Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) drivers/owners. PIA was founded by EV drivers and aims to educate policy makers and the public with our objective, driver-based analysis. The most significant regional effort to promote PEVs in the US is the 8-state Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) process involving California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont. In the MOU initially signed in October 2013, these states committed to taking steps aimed at ensuring 3.3 million vehicles on the road by 2025. A follow up action plan released in May 2014 outlined 11 actions they could take in support of the MOU, ranging from providing incentives to spurring fleet purchases to promoting infrastructure. Notably, the top action identified was “Promote the availability and effective marketing of all plug- in electric vehicle models in our states.” As a ZEV MOU signatory state, Connecticut is well positioned and should be strongly motivated to do its share in promoting PEV adoption by its citizens.
